Gritting services for Bangor businesses

Bangor's retail parks, seafront businesses and town-centre car parks sit on the North Down coast. Coastal air keeps it milder than inland towns, so treatment nights are fewer but harder to call, which is where site-specific forecasting earns its keep.

Because Bangor is close to the coast, many winter nights hover just above freezing. That makes the decision to grit harder, not easier, so we forecast your site individually and treat whenever surface temperatures are expected to reach your trigger.
